I am dual booting Mint 6 and Windows,just set it up tonight. For some reason Windows is telling me the computer has no Internet access albeit Mint is working normally.

I want to use Mint 6 to access the Internet to download AVG firewall and antivirus but my stick is not showing up under Mint 6. I have checked folders but I cannot find it ; in XP I would right click on Explore and it would show something like F:/ removable device.

Welcome to LinuxMint clemkonan.Do you mean the you have a storage device aka a usb stick? Or are you referring to something else - like a usb wireless LAN dongle?If I assume you mean you want to mount a usb storage device you use mount in a terminal if it doesn't auto mount when you connect it to the system.To list all the mounted partitions use mount. In a terminal window enter:

Thats correct I have a Kingston USB memory stick and was hoping it would auto-detect and that I could download anti-virus and firewall to it and use same to set up Windows on the dual bot PC. Are you saying I have to mount it first?
